I think he is at the stage where everyone (especially me) is out to get
him. We opened a tattoo shop together about 2 months ago. His credit is
bad so I went ahead and maxed out my cards and accounts so we could get
the shop going..I ended it with him on march 2nd due to drinking once
again and obviously needed to hire a new tattoo artist and since the
business was funded by me and in my name and stuck me with all the
bills. He wanted half of the shop ( not the bills) which has not even
met what was put in by any means. So he moved away for 3 days, tried to
get back with his ex in his drunken state and then came back march 11th
for his 1st AA meeting. I took him back and yes now I say it is our
shop because he is finally helping me pay the bills without bitching
about it. The problem is that people that didn't really know the
situation just know that my name is on the shop and it has been getting
to him. I am worried that tonight he might not relapse but just become
withdrawn. I tried to explain that he left me without any choice but to
hire on another guy (that we ended up having to fire) in order to pay
the bills but he doesn't seem to get that yes it is in my name and
because he pretty much left me I let people know it was my shop.
Anyways, I am trying to deal with him in a postive way to let him know
that things are different now..oh my!!
